Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A system for child safety, the system comprising one or more of a processor configured to execute machine-readable instructions such that when the machine-readable instructions are executed to cause the one or more processors to perform: receiving breathing sound signals of a baby collected by a sound sensor included in a piece of clothing worn by the baby, the baby clothing including an inflatable neck support; processing the breathing sound signals to generate a current breathing pattern for the baby; determining whether the baby is breathing abnormally by comparing the current breathing pattern with one or more predetermined normal breathing patterns of the baby; in response to a determination that the baby is breathing abnormally, generating an inflation instruction to inflate the inflatable neck support of the baby clothing; and transmitting the inflation instruction wirelessly to the baby clothing to effectuate the inflation of the inflatable neck support of the baby clothing.

2

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to: in response to the generation of the inflation instruction, generating a notification for notifying a care-giver of the baby that the baby is breathing abnormally; and transmitting the notification wirelessly to a monitoring device associated with the care-giver to effectuate the notification to the care-giver.

3

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the effectuation of the notification includes at least one of vibrating the monitoring device associated with the care-giver, making a sound alert through the monitoring device associated with the care-giver, and displaying a visual alert on the monitoring device associated with the care-giver.

4

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the notification indicating at least one of when the abnormal breathing by the baby is first detected, how long the baby is detected to be breathing abnormally, and whether inflatable neck support has been instructed to be inflated.

5

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determination whether the baby is breathing abnormally is performed by further comparing the current breathing pattern of the baby with one or more stored abnormal breathing patterns corresponding know respiration conditions.

6

6. The system of claim 5 , further comprising determining whether the baby is having one of the known respiration conditions.

7

7. The system of claim 6 , the generation of the inflation instruction is based on the respiration condition the baby is determined to be having when the baby is determined to be having the respiration condition.

8

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the inflation instruction includes information indicating a percentage of inflation the inflatable neck support should be inflated into, and/or a duration for which a Tillable medium is to be released into the inflatable neck support to inflate the inflatable neck support.

9

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generation of instruction is based on one or more previously generated inflation instructions.

10

10. A method for controlling inflation of inflatable neck support of a piece of clothing worn by a baby, the method being implemented by a processor, the method comprising: receiving breathing sound signals of a baby collected by a sound sensor included in the piece of clothing worn by the baby; processing the sound signals to generate a current breathing pattern for the baby; determining whether the baby is breathing abnormally by comparing the current breathing pattern with one or more predetermined normal breathing patterns of the baby; in response to a determination that the baby is breathing abnormally, generating an inflation instruction to inflate the inflatable neck support of the baby clothing; and transmitting the inflation instruction wirelessly to the baby clothing to effectuate the inflation of the inflatable neck support of the baby clothing.

11

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising in response to the generation of the inflation instruction, generating a notification for notifying a care-giver of the baby that the baby is breathing abnormally; and transmitting the notification wirelessly to a monitoring device associated with the care-giver to effectuate the notification to the care-giver.

12

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the effectuation of the notification includes at least one of vibrating the monitoring device associated with the care-giver, making a sound alert through the monitoring device associated with the care-giver, and displaying a visual alert on the monitoring device associated with the care-giver.

13

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the notification indicating at least one of when the abnormal breathing by the baby is first detected, how long the baby is detected to be breathing abnormally, and whether inflatable neck support has been instructed to be inflated.

14

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the determination whether the baby is breathing abnormally is performed by further comparing the current breathing pattern of the baby with one or more stored abnormal breathing patterns corresponding know respiration conditions.

15

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising determining whether the baby is having one of the known respiration conditions.

16

16. The method of claim 15 , the generation of the inflation instruction is based on the respiration condition the baby is determined to be having when the baby is determined to be having the respiration condition.

17

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the inflation instruction includes information indicating a percentage of inflation the inflatable neck support should be inflated into, and/or a duration for which a fillable medium is to be released into the inflatable neck support to inflate the inflatable neck support.

18

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the generation of instruction is based on one or more previously generated inflation instructions.
